For the second straight week, the Detroit Lions will be featured in a prime time game. After being on Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs in a potential Super Bowl preview, it’s Monday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, for a potential NFC Championship Game preview, we’ve got our best Buccaneers vs. Lions predictions.

Paired with the best bet from our Buccaneers vs. Lions picks will be a guaranteed Chalkboard Fantasy promo code bonus for two bonuses AND daily free player picks!

Buccaneers vs. Lions Predictions for Monday Night Football, NFL Week 7

Not only is this a potential NFC Championship Game preview for this year, but this was also an NFC Divisional Round game from just two seasons ago. In fact, after Detroit won that postseason clash, Tampa Bay got their revenge just last season.

Speaking of Tampa Bay, they helped us hit a best bet of Mac Jones over 246.5 passing yards (he had 347!), and with Detroit coming off their Sunday Night Football loss to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, you know that they will be motivated to avenge that loss, especially after seeing that stat for the San Francisco 49ers backup QB.

The Lions are also set up for a victory given the Bucs’ injuries - Mike Evans (who might be back this week), Chris Godwin & Bucky Irving (likely won’t be), AND Emeka Egbuka (TBD with Sunday’s hamstring injury). Even with all that going on, Baker Mayfield has the third-shortest MVP odds en route to leading his team to a 5-1 record.

There is so much to love with this matchup, so let’s get into what we chose for the best bet from our Buccaneers vs. Lions predictions.
 

 

 

Buccaneers vs. Lions Best Bet: Jared Goff Over 241.5 Passing Yards (Use His Chalkboard Card)

There is so much supporting an explosion of the Lions' offense, so let’s start with those two recent matchups. When these teams met in the second round of the playoffs, Detroit got the victory in large part thanks to Jared Goff’s 287 passing yards and Amon-Ra St. Brown’s 77 receiving yards and a TD.

Even when Tampa got their revenge in Week 2 of last year, Jared Goff still threw for 307 yards, and Amon-Ra St. Brown still had 119 receiving yards. That theme of being exploited through the air has continued this season, especially recently.

In their last two games, the Bucs defense has allowed Mac Jones and Sam Darnold to throw for 347 and 341 yards, respectively. All of that adds up to a perfect recipe for a huge day for the already elite connection of Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown. 

While we’d suggest making Buccaneers vs. Lions picks on both the QB and WR, we know that some fans may just be wanting an overall best bet. Therefore, we’ll focus our Buccaneers vs. Lions predictions on Jared Goff over 241.5 passing yards (add his player card to a Chalkboard lineup).

Buccaneers vs. Lions Injury Report & Latest News

Perhaps the only thing lengthier than the support for a huge Detroit offensive game is the Buccaneers vs. Lions injury report. In Tampa, we’ve already noted Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving & Emeka Egbuka, and even Zyon McCollum is banged up.

Speaking of defensive backs, that’s where nearly all of the Buccaneers vs. Lions injury news in Detroit lies. Their secondary has injuries with Terrion Arnold, DJ Reed, and we even saw Brian Branch get a one-game suspension Monday afternoon.
